Surgery Scheduled for Thursday
They are going to put Jace under again on Thursday for a different type of brain surgery. This time they are going to insert a Ommaya Reservoir so that they can directly put chemo into the tumor area. The reason they didn’t do this sooner was becuz of the gliadel wafers he had inserted after the second resection. The methatrexate that he will be getting is a cousin of the gliadel wafers that kept the tumor from growing back in the area it did twice.
Of course we are nervous for this surgery, but at the same time still way up in the clouds over what is happening right now. It can only get better and we can only think of how well he did through both actual brain surgeries. The same Dr will be doing the procedure and we have a lot of faith in him.
I don’t know the details of the schedule yet, but will post as soon as I know.
Love to all, God Bless!
